I'm beginning to understand why the Underrail: Expedition expansion is taking so long to finish. The new Black Sea areas the expansion takes place in aren't going to be located on some separate map. Styg is actually expanding the main game world to accommodate them in a geographically consistent manner. It's like getting double the Underrail! The new development update tells us a bit about the inhabitants of these new regions:

Hi guys, here's a quick update on what we've been up to in the past few months.

In order to wrap up the geographical consistency of the base game, we had to create a number of water maps that connect SGS, Junkyard, Core City, Camp Hathor, and the Black Sea. In the expansion the player will be able to traverse and explore these maps with his jet ski, but he won't be the only one as a number of factions also utilize these waters, such as Protectorate, Black Eels, and Black Sea pirates. Also encounters with random sea bandits are not uncommon.

The most powerful naval faction in the South Underrail is, of course, the Black Eels. Their naval platform The Rig is perfectly positioned to facilitate the trade between different stations as well as their own scrap exporting business. The Rig is also used to control the central body of water of the Lower Caves in order to fend off pirates. This place will be vital for pirate missions that the player will be able to take part in if he chooses to ally with the them in the expansion.

The Rig missions are not 100% complete yet, but will be soon. After that we'll be returning to the Black Sea to wrap up and polish off the maps we made so far and integrate them into the global map. And then we still have two more areas to develop - the villages of the savage natives and the final dungeon.

Looks awesome. I'll finally play it when it all releases. I played a good bit and really enjoyed it but lost my save due to a hard drive crash, and haven't had the will to grind through everything I'd done up until. I also just can't pick a build I want to play with. I'll decide when this comes out. Loving it

Never got around to completing Underrail 1.0 due to burning through an Early Access build in '14 - after this was announced, I then thought to wait until the Expansion was done before going through properly.

Played through the base game all the way through and it was a great experience. This and AoD were the 2 RPGs more on the indie side that I absolutely loved. Plan to play through it again with a crossbow trapper once the expansion is out.

I don't think I've ever not watched a movie from beginning to end. Not even if it's a really bad one, like the aforementioned James Cameron that wasn't much more than a CGI-ified Dances with wolves. The CGI wasn't even that impressive and the 3D can just go to hell.

Anyway, if you decide to start something you should also finish it. I think that's just something you do. I mean, even if it's a bad experience it's still a experience.

I do the same thing with books, which is why I've read the entire Twilight series. Comes in handy when you meet people that like Twilight who's only argument against you is "well you never read the books" but then you go "actually I have read the books" and then you feel both proud and disgusted with yourself.

Also, people who make a disturbance at the cinema are one of the two reasons why I don't go to the cinema anymore. The other reason is that I'm too tall to sit down for two hours.

I haven't played this - yet (might as well wait for the expansion), but everything I hear about it is awesome and it looks like the dev team is incredibly talented and inspired. The expansion looks amazing and will obviously be a day 1 purchase for me, and I'm looking forward to finally playing this game I've heard so much about.

Styg I can't believe it's been since 2010 that you've been doing this game. So amazing.

Click to expand...

Iron Tower is even more amazing, they've been doing Age of Decadence since 2004 :].

But seriously, why do you call it "so amazing"? I would argue that it's the opposite of "so amazing" although understandable considering the circumstances (budget, number of people working on it, etc.),

And IMO this expansion is a mistake, instead of doing something new and fresh Styg is following the line of least resistance trying to exploit his only product to the extreme. I can understand if he needs the money to switch to other engine and make a new project from scratch but otherwise it resembles me what King's Bounty developers were doing.

That would depend on whether or not the expansion is total shit. If it's overall integrated well into the game (which is like the obvious goal) then that's all great, and will hopefully do well for Styg to pursue other projects.

Also guess I'm gonna have to replay the game when this expansion drops, picked up a bad time to finish and uninstall.
